We have been associating with ‘SOS Recruitments’ for quite some time.They had been doing a pretty good job to fulfill our manpower needs with their vast data base of candidates’ profile, suitable for any professional positions. Let it be for any vacancy, you name it and they have the candidates.

SOS provides us an outstanding client services. They are prompt, professional, honest and straightforward. These are the qualities what one really needs from a good recruitment consultancy

I first job opportunity was through SOS Recruitment Consultants and had the pleasure of engaging their services to hire for my team three years later. The experience was great, we had consultants who were extremely insightful and helpful when defining and narrowing down our candidate profile and we also developed a great working relationship as client and consultant.

…always found the consultants as SOS to be helpful and professional. SOS take time to understand the requirements of our business / each individual role, and submit CVs accordingly. They keep in touch on a regular basis and are quick to respond to queries whether by email or by phone. I would recommend them to friends looking for work or other companies wishing to recruit quality staff.

“…resulting in cumulative benefits for employer and employee,… SOS has taken extreme efforts to provide me with the employment I had been seeking,… developing confidence in my prospective employers. I had the skills and determination, but the opportunity to utilize both has been made available by SOS – finally, I can settle down in an environment which is not simply a job, but a CAREER!

SOS lent exceptional attention not only to my accurate placement as a mid-career professional, but also to my subsequent occupational advancement.After a lifetime of richly diverse opportunities, my thirst for a ‘professional home’ was finally satisfied through SOS’s care.

"...with the friendly and efficient service tailored to meet our staff requirements, what separates SOS from other recruiters is the time you take to understand the client’s needs and the priority the roles have in the business,... thus you stand out amongst your competition."
